Title: Strange Powers – Part FiveGenre: Romance, Comedy(?)Characters: America, England, mentions of several othersPairing: America/EnglandRating: PG-13, for swears and sexual referencesSummary: America thought it would be funny to turn the device on himself. What’s the worst that could happen? Y’know, aside from accidentally falling in love with your friend. This is my continuation of “America’s strange invention” from the end of Comic Diary 8.Warnings: Pockets of headcanon, slight crackiness, buckets of UST, sensual heresy, America is a dumb, this chapter is even longer ohgodwhyThis chapter: The situation gets more complicated. Several not-dates and a tarot reading. It's a game-changer.Part one, Part two, Part three, Part four -- Part six

oh America, have you forgotten the homo-gun most likely just enhanced feelings which were "already there"?Loved this chapter, especially the card scene (my heart totally sped up there). Have you done a lot of research on magic and such or do you make it up? There's a lot of fun detail in here =D Also, parliament headaches are a great idea. Can totally see that.

I did a lot of research and consulted with a Pagan friend about hypothetical divination scenarios. Pretty much all the magic parts have some basis in what people actually practice, but I did make up bits and pieces and tailored it to the story. One of the interesting things I found is that because these practices have been spread through so many cultures over time, it's pretty acceptable to customize them and improvise because there are so many variations to begin with. Sorry, rambling. Anyways, thank you!
